and has so far resulted in the Dispatcher toolkit, built upon
ILOG Solver.

The project is of 3 years duration, in total 43 person years of
effort, started 1/1/96, and will terminate 31/12/98.

The Ideal Candidate
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ideal candidate has used ILOG Dispatcher, ILOG Solver, C++, has an in
depth knowledge of vehicle routing problems, and is a post doc.
Of course, the candidate will also want to work within the APES research
group here at Strathclyde. If you don't meet all of the above criteria
but have used ILOG Solver and C++ and are interested in spending some time
in the APES group, then we might be interested in you.
